  • Local Plan Church End Growth Area Site Allocations BSSA1: Asiatic
    Brent Publication Stage (Stage 3) Local Plan Church End Growth Area Site Allocations BSSA1: Asiatic Carpets Representations on behalf of Kelaty Properties LLP These Representations are submitted on behalf of Kelaty Properties LLP, freehold owners of a 2.3ha site (herein after referred to as the Asiatic Carpets site) that forms part of the BSSA1: Asiatic Carpets site allocation (which is the combination of the Asiatic Carpets and adjoining Cygnus Business Centre sites, herein after referred to as the allocated site). The Asiatic Carpets site is in single ownership and currently comprises a number of large industrial, office and warehouse buildings, as well as open storage, a car wash and builder’s yard. All existing tenants are short-term (albeit Asiatic Carpets as landowner have occupied the site for a number of years) and the buildings are reaching the end of their economic life. As outlined in our response to the preferred options Local Plan, it is the short to medium-term intention of the owners to rationalise their Asiatic Carpets business and either relocate, or operate from more efficient, modern space on site. The Council reviewed and provided commentary on our representations to the preferred options Local Plan within the ‘Summary of Comments to the preferred options Local Plan’ (see Document 1). The response considered our representation to raise three main issues, which can be summarised as follows: 1. Whether it should be necessary and appropriate for the redevelopment of the Asiatic Carpets site to provide replacement industrial floor space; 2. The phasing and deliverability of the Asiatic Carpets site in conjunction with the adjoining Cygnus Business Centre as a single allocation; and 3.

  • Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan
    Appendix A: Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan HARLESDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2019 - 2034 May 2019 Images in this document produced by Harlesden Neighbourhood Hood Forum unless otherwise stated. With thanks to Crisis Brent Community Researcher volunteers and photography group, as well as to our Forum members, local volunteers and all those who have contributed to the preparation of this document. A welcome from the Chair of the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum Welcome to the Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan - a vision of how Harlesden can develop and grow over the next fifteen years whilst preserving its distinct heritage. Policies within the Neighbourhood Plan are restricted to matters amenable to planning – primarily the built, physical environment. The Plan’s remit does not extend to local services, cultural and arts activities or economic development, although of course planning policies can contribute to the protection and growth of all these things. Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum’s ambitions for our area however go far beyond planning policy. We hope you will continue to engage with the development of the Plan and work of the Forum throughout the formal process and beyond. Beyond the Plan we are keen to develop an exciting and unique offer for visitors and residents alike based on Harlesden’s cultural and artistic diversity. Harlesden is a colourful, neighbourhood in north west London, home to people from across the world, where you can sample a dizzying range of cultures and cuisines from Brazilian to Polish, Trinidadian to Somali. Where, in a single visit, you can pop into some of the best Caribbean food stores in London, admire the beauty and history of Harlesden’s churches or enjoy the outdoors in beautiful Roundwood Park or one of our newly regenerated pocket parks.

  • Parks, People and Nature
    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

It is situated in the Londons Bridges: The Bridges of the Royal River of England on the River Thames and there are lots of bridges across the Thames. The most famous of these bridges is Tower Bridge.

Back in history The Tower served as a prison - now it is one of London's main tourist attractions. Tourists are guided by "Beefeaters" in historic uniforms and the Crown Jewels are on display there.

    Teaching with Testimony Guide for 14-year-old Holocaust survivor Lisa Jura’s universal story of bravery and resilience transforms classrooms around the world in an interdisciplinary and multisensory learning experience from USC Shoah Foundation and Hold On To Your Music The Children of Foundation. Supported by the Koret Foundation, this suite of resources mixes music, story and Willesden Lane technology to reshape Holocaust education for primary and secondary school students. By Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen Created by USC Shoah Foundation as part of The Willesden Project 1 Attributions About the Authors Mona Golabek is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, an internationally celebrated concert pianist, and the star of the one-woman show The Pianist of Willesden Lane. She travels the world, sharing the inspirational story of her mother, Lisa Jura. Lee Cohen is a journalist, screenwriter, and poet. About the Book Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children to Great Britain—they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. Living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa felt the weight of her parents’ choice and yearned to be reunited with her family. But despite her circumstances, Lisa created a new life for herself, and her music became a beacon of hope for all the children of Willesden Lane.

  • British Birds
    British Birds Vol. 55 No. i JANUARY 1962 A study of suburban bird-life at Dollis Hill By Eric Simms (Plates 1-2) INTRODUCTION UNTIL THE PRESENT TIME no thorough or systematic survey of the distribution and behaviour of the birds of a suburban area has appeared since F. D. Power's Ornithological Notes from a South "London Suburb, 1874-1909, published in 1910. This paper sets out the results obtained by the author from the study of Dollis Hill, a suburban area in north-west London. It is based on detailed observations carried out over a period of more than ten years from January 1951 to the summer of 1961, when I lived in the district, as well as on spasmodic observations from August 1943 to December 1950, when I was a frequent visitor. The area chosen for study lies within 1,250 yards or less of my home and can be comfortably managed by one observer; it contains five major habitats forming a fascinating, almost exclusively man-made, ecological unit. DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY OF THE AREA The study area lies some five miles north-west of Marble Arch. It consists of approximately 546 acres (or five-sixths of a square mile) and is contained in a rectangle formed to the north by the North Circular Road, to the west by Dudden Hill Lane, to the east by the Edgware Road and to the south by the Midland Region railway, line of British Railways (formerly part of the Midland and South-Western Junction Railway). This rectangle of land is just over a mile across from west to east and slightly more than three-quarters of a mile from north to south (see Fig.
